Palace-house of the family Arias de Medina, built in the sixteenth century in late mudéjar style. Its various rooms, originally for multiple uses, are distributed surrounding a Castilian porticoed patio with two elevations and a mezzanine. The gallery of the cloister is decorated with period furniture, paintings, Romanesque and Renaissance sculptures and baroque cornucopia. The salons and the library display Flemish tapestries, antique musical instruments, Louis XVIII style furniture and Bohemian crystal chandeliers, among other objects. On the ground floor are the cellar and the stables. The Foundation that manages this heritage was funded by painter Julio Visconti on July 27, 2009.
